So for those of you have kids or even though who don’t I was wondering what anime you would show your kids to introduce them to anime?
Now I got the idea for this topic because I saw the same topic in the MAL forums and it got me to thinking.
I think that when I have kids I would probably show them the anime’s that I liked as a kid that got me interested in anime. So that would be anime’s like Sailor Moon,
Dragon Ball Z,
& also possibly Yu Yu Hakusho.
But what about everyone else? What anime would show your kids if or when you have them? Comment down below your answers I can’t wait to read them.

To me it really would depend on their age. This is an interesting view. I don’t have kids but this is what I would do.
Personally if they were old enough to actually watch and read subtitles and could stand that, I would give the younger one, more than likely a daughter for this case, to watch PreCure. Sailor Moon I could agree with. Dragon Ball would be a tricky one. If they can tell what is fiction and reality and that people do not fight like they do, then I would show them that.
Now, I think it really depends how old they are for some shows. Would I watch High School DXD with a teenage son, probably not. Would I want to know they are watching it, probably not.
Some series, like shonen or ones that are typically aimed at the younger audience, sure why not. Would I show them something dark like Psycho Pass, not when they are young. It really depends what you seen and what you would label as alright.
That is definitely true because you wouldn’t want to show your kids something that they aren’t ready to see yet.
Hmm, for younger viewers, besides the titles already mentioned, probably stuff with English dubs like:
A Little Snow Fairy Sugar
Yo-kai Watch
Pokemon
Angelic Layer
The Prince of Tennis
Pokemon would also be a definite on my list too.
To kids huh. Here is my top 5 on which I think it’s suitable if I do get children:
1. Dragon Ball Z
2. Pokemon
3. Clannad (and After Story)
4. Naruto (and Shippuden)
5. Sailor Moon (if I only have daughters)
I also agree!
Thanks, I like your list as well.
You’re welcome and thank you.
You’re welcome š
XD clannad after story! what child want to watch mushy romance. ^-^ if you want to introduce you children to death you could show then watership down.
Haha they will never sleep again.
Yeah Clannad is a good anime for those who want to show their kids romance. But I haven’t seen Watership Down before.
Some shows that I really liked growing up:
Naruto
One Piece
Sailor Moon
Hamtaro
Pokemon
The Prince of Tennis
and more, but I would definitely suggest those shows to my future kids cause I loved them. If I were to add more, I think Fairy Tail would be really fun as well, and also Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo cause it’s Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo. Toonami in general was just really great for me as a kid.
I would also add those anime in my list as well, especially with Hamtaro. I grew up with that show.
I totally forgot about Hamtaro. I didn’t really watch it when I was a kid but I can see why kids would watch it.
Id let them watch PokĆ©mon and Sailor Moon… I did watch them when I was young, albeit sporadically. I was more into Disney flms. I watched Beauty and the Beast a million times. I know all the songs by heart. Plus, we have a complete collection of all Disney Cartoons which I had also watched several times over as a kid.
Yup! Aside from anime I would also show my kids Disney movies. Especially since I’m obsessed with the Disney Princesses.
Girls Und Panzer, Gakuen Alice or any Ghibli movie.
Agreed!!!
Ghibli films, Pokemon, Wolf Children (so they learn early on to respect thine mother!), A Lull in the Sea, and Maybe Ranma 1/2 just because I grew up with a few episodes of it. The first season of Dragonball and Sailor Moon in general are great picks, too!
I agree when it comes to Ghibli films but I haven’t seen Wolf Children but now I need to watch it.
OMG! This is like the best question yet! I think about what kind of things I will do with my kids if I ever have some. I will definitely show them all the Studio Ghibli movies I have ever watched and will watch,NEVER Mew Mew Power in a thousand years! If they have enough patience,Kaleido Star,maybe Lupin the Third The Movie. They’ll probably get in to Pokemon by themselves ’cause other kids. (the show that never ends T-T),possibly Azu Manga Dio,and the Prettier. Maybe at the age of twelve Inu Yasha and Cowboy Bebop. Yah!
Two more that I forgot! Definitely Sailor Moon,and,if I can find it,Humanoid Monster Bem.
Lol I’m glad that you enjoyed my question and I completely forgot about Inuyasha! I will definitely show my kids that!
Age is a factor as i would love to show them some of ‘dem ecchi ones…
But maybe i will show loli ones to kids younger than 14.
Yes age is definitely a factor because I don’t want to show them anything that is too old for them.
I don’t have children, but if I did I probably would show them the ones on your list + a few others. I watched my first anime at 4, and it was fullmetal alchemist, which I for sure would not be showing my children.
Yeah at 4 I wouldn’t show full metal alchemist but I would show it to my kids when they were older and also interested in it.
